Browse API reference

POST/payments/{paymentId}/capturecapturePayment

Use this method to capture a pre-authorization.

To capture a pre-authorization, you need its paymentId. Our gateway returned the paymentId in the response of the Create Payment method.

Note: If you don't have the paymentId, use our List Payments method to search for the payment.

Depending on the amount you want to capture, complete the following:

  • Capture the full amount of the pre-authorization - Don't send a value for the amount parameter in your request.
  • Capture less than the amount of the pre-authorization - Send a value for the amount parameter in your request.
  • Capture more than the amount of the pre-authorization - Adjust the pre-authorization before you capture it. For more information about adjusting a pre-authorization, go to Adjust Payment.

If your request is successful, our gateway takes the amount from the payment card.

Note: For more information about pre-authorizations and captures, go to Run a pre-authorization.
